News: UCI Downhill Lenzerheide

Back from Switzerland with a 9th (MJ) and a 49th (ME) position.
Lenzerheide is on the schedule for couple years now but this track does not get any easier with time.

Fast, loose and rough describes it probably best. A track where fast and crash are as close as it gets.

Greg Williamson witnessed exactly this.

With a crash in practice before qualification followed by an x ray Greg´s day ended unfortunately for him.

Beaten he couldn’t push hard enough to make it into finals. Rough day in the office as he never qualified.

Things turned out better for Matt and junior Max. Both made it into finals and finished with a decent placement.

– Matt Walker 49th ME

– Max Hartenstern 9th MJ

Max pushed hard the whole weekend and he was on the pace with high chances of a podium.

A very unfortunate slide out before the famous „Plunge“ took him out and placed him at the end of the top 10.

Split times have been very promising and we will see some more from the young German.

Matt is on a consistent way up shaking off this demons after a season of crashing and injuries.
With one of his favourite tracks coming up – Mont Saint Anne – we can´t wait to pack our bags, heading to Canada.
